ruby 3.1.0 fails to build on older versions of macOS such as OS X 10.10.5:

```
gc.c:11141:88: error: use of undeclared identifier 'MAP_ANONYMOUS'
        char *ptr = mmap(NULL, alignment + size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
                                                                                       ^
1 error generated.
```

`MAP_ANONYMOUS` used to be called `MAP_ANON` on older systems; I suggest either using `MAP_ANON` everywhere you're using `MAP_ANONYMOUS`, or else add a block like this somewhere central that each of those files uses:

```
#ifndef MAP_ANONYMOUS
#define MAP_ANONYMOUS MAP_ANON
#endif
```

or

```
#if !defined(MAP_ANONYMOUS) && defined(MAP_ANON)
#define MAP_ANONYMOUS MAP_ANON
#endif
```

(Such blocks already occur in multiple places under ext/fiddle/libffi-3.2.1 in the ruby 3.1.0 source code.)
